Coldplay have honoured late Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell by performing a section of Soundgarden’s hit single ‘Black Hole Sun’ during a recent show.

Performing in Cornell’s native Seattle on Saturday night, Chris Martin and company closed out their song ‘The Scientist’ with a few notes and lyrics from the chorus of ‘Black Hole Sun’, before saying Cornell’s name to the crowd.

Since the cover, Cornell’s widow Vicky Cornell has taken to Twitter to thank Coldplay, saying, “Thank you Coldplay for keeping Chris Cornell’s memory alive.”
